The news that Aleksa Ukropina has been suspended for using illegal funds has caused a lot of trouble, so he will not be participating in the Olympic Games in Paris.
While waiting for a decision on how long the sentence will last for the left-handed athlete, the Anti-Doping Commission of Montenegro announced that "education in the field of anti-doping is also needed for the Olympic Games".
"Ahead of the upcoming Olympic Games, the Anti-Doping Commission invites all national sports federations to include in their activities a program of education and raising awareness about the importance of anti-doping.
It is of the utmost importance that all federations recognize the importance of training the coaching staff and medical teams and include the area of anti-doping in it.
We remind you that during December, the Commission implemented a series of educational activities on the subject of anti-doping, such as those during the "Athletics Day", and for coaches, with the aim of empowering them as knowledge bearers and educators of athletes, thus contributing to the creation of a clean sports environment.
We also inform you that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has sent a recorded educational program that is mandatory for all participants of the Olympic Games.
The Anti-Doping Commission remains committed to the mission of preserving the integrity of sport and the health of athletes, and we call on sports federations to approach education in this area with equal responsibility, adapt their procedures and regulations in accordance with WADA guidelines and, through compliance with anti-doping rules and norms, demonstrate commitment to promoting sports ethics and fair competition", the announcement reads.
